[Very early in the morning, T'Pol's PADD clicks on. For a moment, there's just the ceiling of her dark room; then there's an odd little meow, and a cat pops in, far too close to the camera. It's curious. WHAT ARE YOU, PADD? It meows again, though it sounds a lot more like a chirp, and then there's a tiny paw that looks kind of like a huge paw scraping the screen. He starts making all kinds of noises, and before it gets too annoying, there's some shuffling in the background, and T'Pol's blue pajama'd legs come into sight for a few seconds, scaring off the kitten before the camera clicks off.

When it comes back on, T'Pol's still in her pajamas, and holding a very tiny Egyptian Mau in one hand. He's looking at her and the camera curiously, legs waving around, since she's holding him from underneath.]

Has anyone lost a feline? [There is all kinds of lineface in this question, because she has no idea how it got in her quarters.]

[Filtered to Kirk, Seven, Kay, Uhura]

Would you be interested in learning a Vulcan game?

Is this a test?

In what way would it be a test. [The kitten's squirming around to look at the ceiling.]

The look it receives is a dubious one.

"Your infant feline is unproductive."

[And now he's waving a paw at the screen. The Borg Queen looks interesting enough to poke at.]

It is not mine. [Or so she thinks. :|] I doubt it's meant to be productive.

"Designate it an assigned task. It needs to learn compliance."

It is quite a charming creature, wherever it came from. [Better than kitlings, anyway.]

[Filter]

I would love to. Never hurts to expand one's horizons.

I'm not certain charming is the adjective I'd use. [He's thwapping a paw in the PADD's direction. It almost looks like waving.]

Is tomorrow night agreeable?

Edited 2010-12-03 21:28 (UTC)

I'll be there with bells on. Whatever that means.

With bells on. [WHY ARE YOU SAYING IT IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. She's just cocking her head to the side and hoping the bells are figurative.] Very well.

[He has to sort of smile just a little at that, because her and the cat have the same expression.]

Sure. I'd be interested.

[This is entirely his fault. But she won't say that.] Tomorrow night, if you're not busy.

[Absolutely his fault.] I'll keep my schedule open.

We'll meet in the mess hall.

...did you win it?

How would I win it?

I don't know, poker?

I've never played poker.

Which one?

Kal-toh. You gave me this set last December, I believe. It's seen little use since.

I might almost be offended that you haven't used it. But a year isn't so bad.

I'll play.

I've used it on occasion. [But solitary games can be dull. :c] We'll be meeting in the mess hall tomorrow night. My quarters are not large enough.

I told you I was going to ask for a cat for you.

[Filter]

And yeah, I'll play.

Edited 2010-12-04 00:52 (UTC)

I told you it was not necessary. [She's pausing, because the cat is squirming and now she needs both hands to hold onto him.] I don't know how to name pets.

[Filter]

We're meeting tomorrow night in the mess hall. I've invited the Seventh Doctor, Agent K, and Lieutenant Uhura. If there's anyone else you'd like to invite, please do.

Name him after someone you like. And there's no take backs, so he's yours for good now.

[Filter]

I could ask Shego but that's a 50/50 shot. Lemme think about it.

[Take backs. What the hell is that.] I'll think on it.

[Filter]

Very well.
